Tennessee Nature Academy is a free nature-based public charter school in the Antioch-Cane Ridge community. We will serve students and families in grades 5-9 in the 2026-2027 school year.

Our research-based model uses nature-based learning and play to support students’ academic success, build students’ social and community connections, and promote students’ well-being.

Interested in enrolling for the 2026-2027 school year?

Filling out a family application is easy and takes only minutes to complete! You do not need to upload any documents at this time.

If we receive more applications than available seats, a lottery will be run. To be considered for the lottery, you must apply before February 15, 2026.

We'll continue to accept applications post-lottery and seats will be offered to applicants on the waitlist as they become available.
